I suppose a good compromise is don't show AOA unless there's a miscompare - then (along with a very obvious miscompare notification) show the left AND right values right next to each other, not cross-cockpit.
I could hardly agree more, although it is also not limited to third-world pilots. I still contend that the AF447 pilots would not have benefited from an AoA indicator, either. I detailed that in another post which got deleted. It boils down to "none of the available instruments made any sense, why would they have believed an additional one, which would have shown an unbelievable value (40°) anyway."
